Summary:
"One of the leading health threats to human is cancer. However, wild animals rarely get this disease. Why are humans more at risk of developing cancer? When humans became bipedal in Africa, they also developed bigger brains. It seems this created the ideal conditions for cancer cell growth. This episode discusses how humans should deal with the battle against cancer within the context of the evolutionary process"--Container.
